Lost Mom

Nov/13/2008

Kenneth just completed his college application. Application period is Nov/1 – Nov/31. He finished his school play and submitted his college application the very next day (Nov/2/08).

Suddenly, I feel LOST…. No focus.
Now, we got a black president, and my 1st son is leaving… strange feeling.

About 40 kids were involved in the school play. Kenneth was the production manager. He had been working hard since this summer. Last 2 weeks of Oct, I hardly saw him: I dropped him to school around 7:10 am, dropped some fast food and drinks to school for him and his crew members (8 kids) around 5pm after work, then he came home around 11 pm. He was always tired. But they did a very nice job, very professional. The director even hired some professionals to help out. It’s the French big nose lover story. 3 hr long.

After school play and college application, now, he is working on year book. There are about 30 kids in the class. The school has about 1200 kids. 10% asians. Kids need to have teacher’s recommendation to get into year book class.

Can you tell? I am very proud of him =)

Kenneth got a girlfriend. Asian American from LA area. Very small. Kenneth is 6’. She is about 150cm something… she is one year older, UC Berkeley freshman. Kenneth is invited to her family this thanksgiving and xmas…. =( friend’s IM friend. They IMed a while and met this summer.
Couple days ago, she came over with her suit case of cooking materials and cooked sour fish soup. I am bought.

Sean, my almost perfect kid several years ago, now is in a journey of finding himself (16 yr old). Grade is fine. Kid is a good kid. Just has his own mind and wants his own life. Plays video games, drums and skateboarding to places. Long hair, hardly see his face…. Dresses all black. Works out and is a muscle boy...

Thomas is doing great. He wears only white shirts. He grew so much this year, lost his baby fat, no more glasses, and became very cute. People notice him all the time. (not good!!). He was #1 in his math beginning of last year. And he is still a straight A kid so far. Oh, when he is bored, he plays piano and sings… he sings when he couldn’t fall asleep during the night as well.
